EE to launch phone plans which restrict internet for teens

EE, a major UK mobile network operator, is set to launch new phone plans that will restrict internet access for teenage users. This move is in response to growing concerns about the impact of unrestricted internet access on young people's well-being. The new plans will limit the type of content and the amount of time that teenage users can access the internet. This is part of a broader effort by UK mobile network operators to ensure that adult content is only accessible to adult users. The details of the new plans, such as the specific restrictions and the age range they will apply to, have not yet been disclosed. However, the goal is to provide parents with more control over their children's online activities and to promote responsible internet use among teenagers. The announcement has sparked a discussion around the balance between protecting young people and preserving their digital autonomy. As technology continues to play a significant role in daily life, these types of measures may become more common as network providers and policymakers seek to address the challenges of digital parenting.
